1965 Mustang 2+2 

I purchase the Mustang (Restomod - Yeap, I named her) locally in 2003 to replace my 64-1/2 Mustang Coupe that was promised to a guy from back east. The car was visually very pleasing with its shiny paint to it's straight body. The interior was going to require a little TLC, but all in all, I had to have her. She was the dream car I let get away back in 1973 (sold my Mustang 2+2 GT). 

Restomod was your basic 65 Mustang 2+2. She had A/C and Power brakes, both removed by prior owner. She came with a mildly modified 351W, C4 trans and a 8" rear end. I had a much hotter set up in my 65 Coupe, which was just waiting for it's new home. As soon as Restomod's front tires hit the driveway, parts were flying off. I knew what I wanted to do. The transformation turned out to be a never ending project. As fast as I added parts, other parts were flying off. 

An interesting side note, the gentleman who asked to take the reins of the coupe bailed when it came time to buy her. I was heartbroken, I ended up with 2 Mustangs!

Here is a quick look at Restomod as she sits today.
